Advanced Techniques

Berserk Timing Optimization

• Track boss attack patterns
• Activate during longest vulnerability windows
• Never waste Berserk on low-health enemies
• Plan activation around major DPS phases

Animation Canceling

• Light attack → Dodge → Light attack
• Whirlwind → Weapon Swap → Instant spear attack
• Blood Frenzy → Light attacks (cancel end lag)
• Practice cancels for maximum DPS

Lifesteal Maximization

• More hits = more healing
• Light attacks more efficient than heavy
• Maintain high aggression during Berserk
• Don’t disengage at low HP (heal through damage)

Stamina Management

• Berserk regenerates stamina naturally
• Use regeneration windows for extra attacks
• Never exhaust stamina completely
• Keep 20% reserve for emergency dodge

Common Mistakes

Poor Berserk Timing: Activating during unsafe moments wastes cooldown.

Over-Extension: Chasing kills outside Berserk gets you killed.

Neglecting Defense: Zero defensive stats is suicide. Invest minimum HP.

Panic Rolling: Wastes stamina. Trust your lifesteal during Berserk.

Forgetting Spear: Using blades during cooldown is suboptimal and dangerous.

Stamina Exhaustion: Running out of stamina mid-combo leaves you helpless.

Tips & Tricks

• Master parrying—it’s your best defensive tool
• Practice dodge timing to avoid big attacks
• Learn boss patterns to maximize Berserk windows
• Keep a few healing consumables for emergencies
• Use terrain to limit enemy angles of attack
• Animation cancel religiously for maximum DPS
• Track internal cooldowns mentally
• Recognize when to disengage temporarily

Conclusion

The Dual Blades Berserker build is pure adrenaline. You live on the edge, trusting lifesteal to keep you alive while dealing relentless damage. Master Berserk Mode timing, perfect your animation cancels, and never hesitate during your damage windows.

This build is not for the faint of heart. You will die frequently while learning. But once mastered, you’ll outdamage every other build in the game and feel unstoppable during Berserk Mode.

Embrace the chaos. Trust your lifesteal. Stay aggressive. Dominate the battlefield.
